Project 365 2021 – Week Forty Nine

It hasn’t been the best week for me, with issues at work which I found quite stressful.

Luckily the kids are all feeling better and we did enjoy a night out at the pantomime, not once, but twice, which is always a great tonic.

COVID wise, restrictions are back, with compulsory mask wearing in shops again and customers grumbling. In fact, our first panto we didn’t have to wear masks whilst sat down, but for the second we did.

Here is our week:

Sunday 5th December

Thankfully everyone is starting to feel better and I started a relaxing Sunday off, with a bath and a rainbow bath bomb.

It was a day spent catching up on house admin, so didn’t take any other photos.

Monday 6th December

Isaac is home schooling this week because they are struggling with staff absence and it was a bit of a challenge keeping Lilah away from him. Thankfully, Eliza and Sebby are still in school and Sebby came out with his first Christmas card and his Christingle he made.

Lilah was fascinated by our Christmas lights when we left to take her home.

Tuesday 7th December

Another day with Lilah and the weather was awful, so we had to stay at home. Thankfully the rain cleared by school pick up time, so I put her in her puddle suit and let her splash around.

In the evening, we headed into Bournemouth to see Peter Pan at the Pavilion.

After missing out last year, it was great to be back at the pantomime and the kids loved joining in with the jeers and cheers and once it had finished we took advantage of the empty gardens to see Christmas Tree Wonderland.

Wednesday 8th December

Back to work for me and the only photo from the day, is a selfie our cheeky elves took, after decorating our picture with googly eyes.

Thursday 9th December

Work again and I have to admit it’s been stressful, with lots of issues and equipment failure. Luckily our local rotary club were on hand to bring some Christmas cheer.

Friday 10th December

Lilah’s 2nd birthday – I cannot believe she is 2 already!

In the evening, it was our second pantomime of the week, this time at Lighthouse in Poole.

Again, we loved joining in with traditional pantomime banter and Chris Jarvis did his take on the 12 days of Christmas carol, which the kids raucously joined in with. The theatre was full of beavers, cubs and scouts and I think I am still a little deaf from all the cheering.

Saturday 11th December

Sadly another work day for me and I have to admit its no better. The kids were excited about a special delivery which arrived today.

They have adopted a Zebra at Wild Place Project in Bristol and as part of the package, got a wooden zebra to decorate at home.

I am looking forward to watching the Strictly semi-finals tonight and then a day off tomorrow.

How was your week?
